My advice is to find some way to turn this assertion around. That is, until you have proven that you can build a good robot on a (suitably modified) kit chassis, don't even think about building your own chassis. Here, I'm defining "good" as better than (oh, about) 50th percentile seeding at a local event. Once you meet this threshold, seriously think about whether spending more time on a drive train is worth it to your strategy. Unless your team is dripping talent, the answer will probably be that a custom drive train is only worth doing when the game presents unusual challenges.
